Benedict Cumberbatch, Julian Fellowes and Robert Lindsay were among the stars who turned out for a special service in Britain to mark the reburial of King Richard Iii. The monarch, who died in battle in 1485, was found buried under a car park in Leicester, England in 2012, and on Thursday (26Mar15), his remains were interred at the city's cathedral.
Star Trek Into Darkness star Cumberbatch, who is believed to be a distant relative of the King and plays him in an upcoming TV drama, read a specially commissioned poem called Richard by poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy at the funeral service.
Speaking afterwards, the Oscar nominee called the experience "extraordinary".
Other stars who turned out for the ceremony included Downton Abbey creator Fellowes and actor Lindsay.
Cumberbatch plays Richard III in BBC drama The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses, which is due to air in the U.K. in 2016.

A lost Sherlock Holmes tale written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been unearthed 100 years after it was written. The story, entitled Sherlock Homes: Discovering The Border Burghs And, By Deduction, The Brig Bazaar, is believed to have been written by the legendary author in 1904 to help raise money to rebuild a bridge in the Scottish town of Selkirk which had been destroyed by flooding.
The story was discovered by 80-year-old Walter Elliot, who tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "I have no idea if it has ever been published - I've never seen it. I've always been interested in history and my family has always passed on stories and I suppose this was one of the stories that was passed down."
The Beloved sleuth stories have been developed into a number of screen adaptations including a TV series featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and movies starring Robert Downey, Jr.

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch's best man at his wedding over the weekend (14-15Feb15) was U.K. TV judge Robert Rinder. The Sherlock star tied the knot with pregnant partner Sophie Hunter in a romantic Valentine's Day (14Feb15) ceremony on the Isle of Wight, off the coast of England.
Cumberbatch had three best men, one of whom was Rinder, star of Judge Rinder, the British adaptation of hit U.S. legal show Judge Judy.
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Benedict had three best men, but only one was famous - and that was Judge Rinder. There was speculation that he chose another actor but he wanted genuine old friends in the role. They keep it pretty quiet. They were friends before either found fame."
Cumberbatch, who met his pal when they studied at the University of Manchester in England, had a big role in Rinder's nuptials to his partner Seth Cumming, as he became ordained and officiated at their 2013 wedding.

Northern Irish hunk Jamie Dornan has beaten Benedict Cumberbatch to the top of a new Sexiest Man poll compiled by Britain's Glamour magazine editors. The actor, who is set to titillate fans in the highly-anticipated movie adaptation of erotic thriller Fifty Shades of Grey, was no match for Sherlock star Cumberbatch, who finished in second place ahead of Thor villain Tom Hiddleston.
Twilight's Robert Pattinson and Man of Steel stud Henry Cavill round out the top five, while the boys of One Direction, Jared Leto, Pharrell Williams, Liam and Chris Hemsworth, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom all make the list.

One-time Fifty Shades Of Grey star Charlie Hunnam will replace fellow Brit Benedict Cumberbatch in the movie adaptation of David Grann's book The Lost City of Z, according to new reports. Hunnam, who was tapped to play Christian Grey in the erotic thriller before stepping down due to scheduling issues, will step in for Cumberbatch, who had to abandon The Lost City of Z after signing on to play Marvel's Doctor Strange.
Brad Pitt is among the producers of the film, which will also feature Brits Sienna Miller and Robert Pattinson.

Sherlock Holmes is heading to Broadway in a new play. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's supersleuth, who has been played by both Robert Downey, Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch in recent years, is destined for the New York stage in a production simply titled Sherlock Holmes.
The play is being billed as an original story based on Doyle's books and is set to hit the stage in 2017.
Co-producer Antonio Marion tells the New York Post, "Our version of Sherlock Holmes will have all the elements that fans want and expect, but with new twists and turns and plenty of surprises."
